Nearly half a year came and went
In a Kansas Jail, Five Months spent..
Released and Driven to Dodge City.

Outlaw History for me to see
Immigrants, Slaughter houses and
Crack Cocaine
Little Town with Big City Pain.

Tried to do it Right but
for me it was an uphill Fight
out on Probation--no help there--
No Identification, Im An American!!
There it is there..Half-Breed Injun
with Long Hair,

I acquired a roach infested abode
With a crackhead Black Man,
A Ghetto "##$%^&*er" and it showed.

I painted the place and made it Winter safe
My place the one Below
Lazy Roommate never showed,

Drunken Drama over a Pretty Senorita
(after 5 months I hadta get laid!)
He pulled a blade
She tossed me a bat

Yeah, that ended that..

Stranger in town headed for a wreck
I sat back to reflect....

That's what I found every time I checked,
He had many friends where I had none,
That's what started my Run.

It was Real, it was Fun,
But it wasnt Real Fun

I decided by sundown
I needed to get outta town

"Get Outta Dodge"

so the saying goes.

Sunrise the Next

After awaking from my reflect,
I ate well, packed my clothes,
started out on the road,
no more newly painted abode.

From East Dodge City to West
I walked on without rest..

An immigrant Christain Family
Headed to Garden..
Glad I speak the Spanish Jargon,

Truck stop there in Garden City
no smokes, nothin'
Down to the Nitty Gritty.

A Black Man gave me a half pack of Kools
and $20 cash..
just enough to fed my sorry ass.

In rolls some Dude with Colorado Plates!!

Great! I still got $12 for gas.........

After sitting for Four
and a Half Hours in one spot,
I was headed to Colorado Springs
on one Straight Shot!

We rolled out
When I offered Fuel Funds
Yet Never took the Stuff
"Just to Offer was Enough"

American Soldier headed Back
He took an Early Vacation
Thanksgiving Day,
He'd be fighting for out Nation

So Twelve Hours on The Road
And we made it Home
I slept and ate for an Entire Day
Nearly a Week before
I showed my Face

Back to my old tricks
Stealing Cars,
Shooting Dope
All that Shit......

Got Stabbed by a Chump Kid
With a Knife
Barely made it outta
The Hospital....

Barrowed Clothes and Clutching My Life,
Now Im back in Jail...again
Another Half a Year since Then..
It's been Madness on a Psycho Spin..

The Fast Life must come to an End
A Total of A Year
Since this Tale began

Still I'm a lonely Man
Locked in a Cage
Putting my Life
Down on another Page

But it's Not so Strange
To Know it is Time to Change
My Life at Last
I'll be Starting Over
Some Place in Kansas..............
